As I was thinking of designs that I wanted to make for the spring, I realized that I didn’t have a single pattern that could be specific to Easter. Years of designing and not one single Easter pattern! I had to rectify that right away, and keep it nice and simple since I want to do more simple patterns this year. With that in mind, I came up with this cute crochet garland pattern that can be used for Easter or during spring. I love how it turned out!
How to Crochet the Hop Into Spring Garland
My goal for this design was to make the construction for this design with as little seaming and pieces as possible. The carrot and daisy are both made in one piece, and the bunny body is crocheted seamlessly with then a bunny tail sewn on. The patterns use basic stitches, and there is a video tutorial walking you through each step of the pattern. It’s a great pattern if you want to increase your crochet skills while still keeping things simple.
Each of the pieces of this pattern could also be used as appliques on a wide variety of crochet projects from blankets to sweaters to pillows. So many possibilities with these cute spring patterns!
